There's no love for Pat Spillane around these parts...but I don't think he set out to get a player suspended in the hope of increasing Kerry's chances. Not clever enough.

Don't know, you are talking about an incident that was clearly seen by the officials, but yet Spillane went on and on about it, did it not even occur to him that maybe the officials thought it was a thing of nothing?, I mean he clearly ignored the fact that the officials took no action, he also clearly ignored everyone else's involvement in the incident and only focussed on Connolly, repeating words like pushing, threatening varios times and quoting the rule and minimum sentence. Surely at the time the main issue should have been why the officials did nothing, he didn't seem to care.

I’d be certain he did exactly that. You don’t need to be that clever to do it, in fact it was a bit of a ham-fisted action so much so that Colm O’Rourke looked embarrassed. Kerry football people are like that, they do things like that, it’s in their nature.

I wouldn't give him credit for the ban, but that does not mean he didn't do his best to highlight the incident in a very one sided manner, which was strange given the fact that at that stage the officials seemed to think it was a thing of nothing..

Kerry can play as bad or dirty as anyone but you'll rarely hear the media give it to them.

Not being paranoid....but if a side from here did half the stuff they've got up to: the match in Killarney against the dubs, Maher's drag down, collecting more black cards than any other team, you'd never hear the end of it.

I seen McCaffrey at one point Accelerate to a massive speed over about 40-45 metres from a walk, I've been lucky to work full time in Sport with many athletes and there's very few who could Accelerate at the rate he did, blew me away, the lads are in some condition

And there's raring to go and being in any way match sharp, never mind able for an All I semifinal. If we make it that far. Connollys season is gone unless we make the final, he might be able to come in as a sub or whatever, and play some sort of part then. But we may very well not get that far in no small part due to his absence. Of course, a few individual squad members might get together for a bit of a casual kick-around in the park of a monday evening now and then......
